The biggest offseason priority of the Dallas Cowboys is to get their star edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence signed to a long-term deal. The front office extended their first offer to him last week, but it appears that the two sides aren’t close at this point. And now, the Cowboys have placed the franchise tag on him for the second-straight season.
Lawrence played under the tag last season at a price of $17.1 million, but the new tag price would consist of a 20% increase, amounting to $20.5 million for the 2019 season.
